yes, I guess I never put that into the equation, plus Australia has been rather isolated, not much influx of new genesQuote:

I don't know where to start with this, suffice to say I too am shocked at Austrlia'a figures.
The other myth that needs to be dispelled is that most Austrlaians have convict ancestors. Those that came here in the early to mid 19th century as 'convicts' are far far fewer in number than those that arived at a later date as free citizens.
Most Australains don't have any relatives that were convicts and of those that do its an isolate in the family tree.
Also as far as outcast genes are concerned, one can hardly be called a degenerate for having stolen a loaf of bread just so they could feed their children. Most Convicts were convicted over extremly petty crimes, there weren't even many hardcore murderes or criminals, most were usually excecuted in the home land. If anything the convicts were an inteligent and hardy bunch. A lot that escaped managed to eek out an existance on the fringes of the colony within the Aboriginal community. They were a resourcefull bunch. One group manged to escape the penal colony and made their way back to the British Isles by building their own boat, not once but TWICE.
I don't get the IQ map, I suspect it is extremely flawed.

mamboni sir, would be so kind as to post your source? :)
Intelligence and knowledge are two different things. Anybody put in a strange environment at first will have trouble surviving. The question is how well do they adapt after the initial shock. Whites in Australia seem to have done pretty well. How have the blacks done in America?Quote:
